Ithiyori yahlukile kumaNgqina kaYehova

Kwiincoko ezininzi, xa indawo yeemfundiso zamaNgqina kaYehova (JWs) ingasekelwanga ngokwebhayibhile, impendulo kwii-JWs ezininzi ithi, "Ewe, kodwa sineemfundiso ezisisiseko ezichanekileyo". Ndiqale ukubuza amaNgqina amaninzi ukuba zithini ezona mfundiso zisisiseko? Emva koko, ndawucokisa lo mbuzo: “Zeziphi ezona mfundiso zisisiseko unique AmaNgqina KaYehova? ” Iimpendulo zalo mbuzo zijolise kweli nqaku. Siza kuchonga iimfundiso unique kwiiJWs nakumanqaku exesha elizayo azivavanya ngokunzulu. Ezona ndawo ziphambili zikhankanyiweyo zezi zilandelayo:

1. NguThixo, igama lakhe, injongo kunye nendalo?
2. NguYesu Krestu nendima yakhe ekuphunyezweni kwenjongo kaThixo?
3. Imfundiso yeDini lentlawulelo.
4. IBhayibhile ayifundisi umphefumlo ongafiyo.
5. IBhayibhile ayifundisi ukuthuthumbiswa ngonaphakade esihogweni somlilo.
6. Ibhayibhile ligama eliphefumlelweyo neliphefumlelweyo likaThixo.
7. UBukumkani kuphela kwethemba loluntu kwaye lasekwa kwi-1914 ezulwini, kwaye siphila kumaxesha okugqibela.
8. Kuya kubakho abantu be-144,000 abakhethwe emhlabeni ukuba balawule kunye noYesu ezulwini (iSityhilelo 14: 1-4), kwaye uluntu lonke luya kuhlala kwiparadesi esemhlabeni.
9. UThixo unombutho omnye okhethekileyo kunye neQumrhu eliLawulayo (i-GB), abazalisekisa indima "yekhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi 'kumzekeliso okuMateyu 24: 45-51, bakhokelwa nguYesu xa besenza izigqibo. Zonke iimfundiso ziya kuqondwa kuphela ngeli 'jelo'.
10. Kuza kubakho umsebenzi wehlabathi lonke oya kugxila kuBukumkani bukaMesiya (UMateyu 24: 14) osekwe ukusukela nge1914, wokusindisa abantu kwimfazwe ezayo yeArmagedon. Lo msebenzi mkhulu ufezekiswa ngenkonzo yendlu ngendlu (Izenzo 20: 20).

Ezi zingasentla zizezona ziphambili endiye ndadibana nazo kwiincoko ezahlukeneyo kangangexesha elithile. Ayilo luhlu oluphelisayo.

Umxholo Wembali

Ii-JWs zaphuma kwimibutho yabafundi beBhayibhile ezaqalwa nguCharles Taze Russell kunye nabanye abambalwa kwii1870. URussell nabahlobo bakhe bachukunyiswa ngamakholwa athi “Age to ezayo”, amaSabatha ama-Adventist avela kuWilliam Miller, amaPresbhithari, amaCatholicist, amaBreau, namanye amaqela amaninzi. Ukwenzela ukusasaza umyalezo obufunyenwe ngaba bafundi beBhayibhile ngokuqonda kwabo iZibhalo, uRussel wenza umbutho osemthethweni ukuze bakwazi ukuhambisa uncwadi. Oku kamva kwaziwa njenge-Bible Bible and Tract Society (WTBTS). URussell waba nguMongameli wokuqala walo Mbutho.[i]

Emva kokubhubha kukaRussell ngo-Okthobha, i-1916, uJoseph Franklin Rutherford (uJaji Rutherford) waba nguMongameli wesibini. Oku kukhokelele kwiminyaka ye-20 yeenguqu kwiimfundiso kunye nokulwa kwamandla, okubangela ukuba ngaphezulu kwe-75% yabafundi bebhayibhile ababedibene noRussell bayeke ukuhamba, kuqikelelwa kubantu be-45,000.

Ngo-1931, uRutherford wenza igama elitsha kwabo baseleyo kunye naye: amaNgqina kaYehova. Ukususela ngo-1926 ukuya ku-1938, uninzi lweemfundiso ezazisuka ngexesha likaRussell zaye zalahlwa okanye zahlaziywa ngendlela engaphaya kwamandla, zaza zongezwa nezinye iimfundiso. Okwangoku, umbutho waBafundi beBhayibhile uqhubeka njengombutho ongalawulekiyo wamaqela apho iimbono ezahlukeneyo bezinyanyezelwa, kodwa imfundiso “yeNtlawulelo yabo Bonke” yayiyeyona ndawo apho kwakuvunyelwene ngokupheleleyo. Maninzi amaqela asasazeke kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye amanani amakholwa kunzima ukuwafumana, njengoko intshukumo ingajolisanga okanye inomdla kumanani amakholwa.

UPhuhliso lwezeNkolo

Indawo yokuqala ekufuneka uyiqwalasele yile: Ngaba uCharles Taze Russell wazisa iimfundiso ezintsha ngokufunda kwakhe iBhayibhile?

Oku kungaphendulwa ngokucacileyo ngencwadi AmaNgqina KaYehova — Abavakalisi BoBukumkani BukaThixo[ii] kwisahluko 5, iphepha 45-49 apho ichaza ngokucacileyo ukuba abantu abohlukeneyo baphembelela kwaye bafundisa uRussell.

“URussell wathetha ngokuphandle ngoncedo lokufundisisa iBhayibhile awayelufumene kwabanye. Akazange avume nje kuphela ukuba unetyala kuMlindi weSecond Adventist uJonas Wendell kodwa wathetha ngothando nangabanye abantu ababini abamncedileyo kwisifundo seBhayibhile. URussel wathi ngala madoda mabini: 'Ukufundisisa iLizwi likaThixo naba bazalwana bathandekayo kwakhokelela, ngokuthe ngcembe emadlelweni aluhlaza. Omnye wabo, uGeorge W. Stetson, wayengumfundi okhutheleyo weBhayibhile nomfundisi weCawa yama-Advent yamaKristu e-Edinboro, ePennsylvania. ”

“Omnye, uGeorge Storrs, wayengumshicileli wemagazini iBible Examiner, eBrooklyn, eNew York. UStorrs, owazalwa ngoDisemba 13, 1796, waqala wakhuthazeka ukuba aqwalasele oko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile ngemeko yabafi ngenxa yokufunda into epapashwe (nangona ngelo xesha yayingaziwa) ngumfundi weBhayibhile owayenononophelo, uHenry Grew , wasePhiladelphia, ePennsylvania. UStorrs waba ngummeli okhutheleyo wento eyayibizwa ngokuba yimeko yokungafi kwemeko ethile — imfundiso yokuba umphefumlo uyafa kwanokuba ukungafi sisipho esimele sifunyanwe ngamaKristu athembekileyo. Kwakhona wayeqiqa ngelokuba ekubeni abangendawo bengenakufa, akukho ntuthumbo kanaphakade. UStorrs wayehamba imigama emide, efundisa ukuba abangendawo abanakufa. Phakathi kweencwadi zakhe ezipapashiweyo bekukho iiNtshumayelo eziNtandathu, eziye zafumana ukuhanjiswa kweekopi ezingama-200,000. Ngokuqinisekileyo URussell. ”

Phantsi kwesihloko esingezantsi, “Asinto intsha, hayi njengeyethu, kodwa njengeNkosi” (sic), iyaqhubeka yatsho:

“UC. T. Russell wasebenzisa iWatch Tower nezinye iimpapasho ukumela iinyaniso zeBhayibhile nokuphikisa iimfundiso zonqulo lobuxoki neentanda-bulumko zabantu ezaziphikisana neBhayibhile. Akazange, nangona kunjalo, athi afumane iinyani ezintsha"(IBoldface yongeziwe.)

Emva koko icaphula la mazwi kaRussell:

“Sifumanise ukuba kangangeenkulungwane amahlelo namaqela awahlukeneyo ayehlukanisa iimfundiso zebhayibhile, ezixuba nengcamango okanye iimpazamo zabantu. . . Sifumene imfundiso ebalulekileyo yokugwetyelwa ngokholo hayi ngemisebenzi echazwe ngokucacileyo nguLuther kwaye kutshanje ngamaKristu amaninzi; ukuba okusesikweni kukaThixo namandla nobulumko zazigcinwe ngononophelo ngaphandle kokuqondwa ngokucacileyo ngamaRhabe; ukuba amaWesile aluxabisile aluphakamisa uthando novelwano lukaThixo; amaSabatha ayenemfundiso exabisekileyo yokubuya kweNkosi; ukuba amaBhaptizi phakathi kwezinye izinto ayebambe imfundiso yokubhaptizwa ngokuchanekileyo, nokuba babelahlekile elubhaptizweni lokwenyani; ukuba ezinye ze-Universalists kudala zazigcina ngokungacacanga ezinye iingcinga ngokubhekisele 'ekubuyiselweni.' Ke ngoko, phantse zonke iicawa zanikela ubungqina bokuba abaseki bazo babeziva befuna inyaniso;

Isahluko ke sinika ilizwi likaRussell kwimfundiso yokubala ngokubhalwa kwebhayibhile.

“Umsebenzi wethu. . . ibikukuhlanganisa la maqhekeza enyaniso kudala esasazekile kwaye siwanike abantu beNkosi-hayi njengamtsha, ingeyiyo eyethu kodwa njengeyeNkosi. . . . Kufuneka silahle naliphi na ikhredithi nokuba sifumene kwaye siphinde sakhiwe ngokutsha iieels zenyaniso.… Umsebenzi apho iNkosi ikhoyo kuthi ukusebenzisa italente yethu ethobekileyo ibingumsebenzi wemvelaphi kunokwakhiwa ngokutsha, ukulungiswa kunye nokudityaniswa. ” (Boldface yongeziwe.)

Omnye umhlathi oshwankathela izinto eziphunyezwe nguRussell ngomsebenzi wakhe uthi: “URussell wayethozamile kakhulu ngezinto azenzileyo. Nangona kunjalo, “iziqwenga zenkolo ezisasazeke” awazidibanisa wazazisa kubantu beNkosi zazingenazo iimfundiso zobuhedeni ezihlazisa uThixo ngoBathathu Emnye nokungafi komphefumlo, ezazingene kwiicawa zeNgqobhoko ngenxa uwexuko olukhulu. Njengomntu owayengekho ngelo xesha, uRussell kunye nezinxulumani zakhe babhengeza kwihlabathi lonke intsingiselo yokubuya kweNkosi kunye nenjongo kaThixo nokuba ibandakanya ntoni. ”

Ukusuka koku kungasentla, icace gca into yokuba uRussell ebengenayo imfundiso entsha esebhayibhileni kodwa waqokelela ukuqonda ezahlukeneyo ezavumelana kwaye kaninzi zahlukile kwinto eyamkelweyo yobukrelekrele. Imfundiso ephambili kaRussell yayiyintlawulelo yomntu wonke. Ngale mfundiso wakwazi ukubonisa ukuba ibhayibhile ayifundisi ukuba umntu unomphefumlo ongafiyo, ingcinga yokuthuthumbiswa esihogweni somlilo ayixhaswanga ngokwesibhalo, uThixo akangowesithathu kwaye uYesu nguYesu kuphela unyana kaThixo, Usindiso alunakwenzeka ngaphandle kwakhe, kwaye ukuba ngeXesha leVangeli, uKrestu ukhetha “uMtshakazi” oya kulawula kunye naye kwiminyaka eliwaka.

Ukongeza, uRussell wayekholelwa ukuba ukwazile ukuvisisanisa imbono kaCalvin yendawo engaphambi kokufika, kunye nembono yaseArmalia yosindiso lwendalo iphela. Wachaza idini lentlawulelo likaYesu, njengokuhlawula lonke uluntu kubukhoboka besono nokufa. (UMateyu 20: 28) Oku kwakungathethi usindiso kubo bonke, kodwa lithuba “lokuvavanywa ubomi bonke”. URussell wajonga ukuba kukho 'udidi' olwalumiselwe kwangaphambili ukuba lube “nguMtshakazi kaKristu” oya kulawula umhlaba. Umntu ngamnye weklasi wayengekamiselwa ngenxa engaphambili kodwa wayeya “kuvavanywa ngobomi bonke” ngeXesha leVangeli. Abanye abantu baya kuvavanywa ngobomi bonke ngexesha lolawulo lwamawakawaka eminyaka.

URussell wenze itshathi ebizwa ngokuba Isicwangciso sikaThixo samaGala, kwaye ijolise ekudibaniseni iimfundiso zeBhayibhile. Kule nto, waquka iimfundiso ezahlukeneyo ezisebhayibhileni, kunye nobalo-maxesha olwenziwe nguNathan Barbour olusekwe kumsebenzi kaWilliam Miller, nezinto zePyramidology.[iii] Konke oku sisiseko semiqolo yakhe emithandathu ebizwa Izifundo kwiZibhalo.

Ulutsha lweTheology

Kwi-1917, u-Rutherford wanyulwa njengo-Mongameli we-WTBTS ngendlela eyabangela impikiswano enkulu. Kwakukho ezinye iimpikiswano xa uRonald wakhululwa Imfihlakalo egqityiweyo eyayenzelwe ukuba ibe ngumsebenzi we-posthumous kaRussell kunye nomqulu wesixhenxe we Izifundo kwiZibhalo. Olu papasho lwalusuka ebalulekileyo emsebenzini kaRussell ekuqondeni kwesiprofetho kwaye sabangela uphikiswano olukhulu. Kwi-1918, uRonald wakhupha incwadi enesihloko Izigidi Eziphilayo Ngoku Azisayi Kuze Zife. Oku kumisela umhla wokuphela oza kuza nge-Okthobha i-1925. Emva kokusilela kwalo mhla, u-Rutherford wazisa uthotho lweenguqu kwezakwalizwi. Oku kubandakanya ukuguqulwa kwakhona komzekeliso wekhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi ukuchaza onke amaKristu athanjisiweyo asemhlabeni ukusukela kwi1927 kuye phambili.[iv] Oku kuqonda kuqhubekeka nokwenza uhlengahlengiso ngakumbi kwiminyaka yokungenelela. Igama elitsha, "amangqina kaYehova" (ngeloxesha amangqina ebengekabhalwa) lalikhethwe kwi1931 ukuchonga aBafundi beBhayibheli ababenxulumene ne-WTBTS. Kwi-1935, u-Rutherford wazisa ithemba "losigabaibini" losindiso. Oku kufundiswe yi-144,000 kuphela yayikukuba "ngumtshakazi kaKristu" kwaye kulawule kunye naye ezulwini, kwaye ukuba i-1935 yokuqokelelwa yayiyeyodidi "lwezinye izimvu" lukaJohn 10: 16, ababonwa embonweni njenge "Ndimbane enkulu "KwiSityhilelo 7: 9-15.

Ngokujikeleze i-1930, u-Rutherford watshintsha umhla wawubanjwe ngaphambili we-1874 waba ngu-1914 ka-Kristu uqala kwakhe I-Parousia (ubukho). Uye watsho ukuba UBukumkani bukaMesiya buqalisile ukulawula e1914. Kwi-1935, u-Rutherford uthathe isigqibo sokuba ubizo luka- “Mtshakazi ka-Krestu” lugqityiwe kwaye ujoliso lwenkonzo lwahlangana "Ubuninzi bobuNtu okanye ezinye iigusha "zeSityhilelo 7: 9-15.

Oku kudale umbono wokuba umsebenzi wokwahlula "iigusha kunye neebhokhwe" wenziwa ukusukela nge1935. (UMateyu 25: 31-46) Oku kwahlulahlulwa kwenziwa ngokwendlela abantu abasabela ngayo kumyalezo wokuba uBukumkani bukaMesiya obuqalise ukulawula ezulwini ukusukela nge1914 kwaye indawo ekukuphela kwayo apho babeza kukhuselwa yayiku “Intlangano KaYehova” xa imini enkulu yeArmagedon yafika. Akukho nkcazo yanikezelwa ngolu tshintsho lweentsuku. Umyalezo wawuzakushunyayelwa zizo zonke iiJWs kunye nesibhalo esikwiZenzo 20: I-20 yayisisiseko sokuba umsebenzi kufuneka ushunyayelwe usuka kwindlu ngendlu.

Zonke ezi mfundiso zahlukile kwaye zazivela ekutolikeni iZibhalo nguRdeal. Ngeli xesha, wayekwabanga ukuba uKrestu wabuya nge1914, umoya oyingcwele wawungasasebenzi kodwa uKrestu ngokwakhe wayenxibelelana ne-WTBTS.[v] Akazange achaze ukuba olu lwazi luhanjiswa kubani, kodwa luye kuthiwe 'nguMbutho'. Kuba wayeneGunya elipheleleyo njengo Mongameli, sinokufikelela kwisigqibo sokuba ukudluliselwa kuye kwakuza kuye njengo-Mongameli.

Ukongeza, uRonald wasasaza imfundiso yokuba uThixo une'Mbutho '.[vi] Oku kwenzeka ngokungafaniyo nembono kaRussell.[vii]

Ithiyori yahlukile kwiiJW

Yonke le nto isibuyisela kumbuzo weemfundiso ezizodwa kwii-JWs. Njengoko sele sibonile, iimfundiso ezivela ngexesha likaRussell aziyonto intsha okanye zahlukile nakweyiphi na ihlelo. URussell uphinde achaze ukuba waqokelela izinto ezahlukileyo zenyaniso kwaye wazicwangcisa ngolungelelwano oluthile ukunceda abantu ukuba bazi ngcono. Ke, akukho nanye kwezi mfundiso zisusela kwelo xesha inokujongwa njengeyahlukileyo kwiiJW.

Iimfundiso ukusuka ngexesha likaRonald njengo Mongameli, zahlaziya zatshintsha uninzi lweemfundiso zangaphambili ezivela kwixesha likaRussell. Ezi mfundiso zahlukile kwii-JWs kwaye azifumaneki kwenye indawo. Ngokusekwe koku, amanqaku alishumi adweliswe ekuqaleni anokuhlalutywa.

Amanqaku okuqala ama-6 adwelisiwe ayingafani neeJWs. Njengoko kuchaziwe kuncwadi lweWTBTS, bayatsho ngokucacileyo ukuba uRussell akazange adale nantoni na entsha. IBhayibhile ayifundisi uBathathu Emnye, ukungafi komphefumlo, isihogo somlilo kunye nokuthuthunjiswa ngonaphakade, kodwa ukwaliwa kwezo mfundiso akungomaNgqina kaYehova kuphela.

Amanqaku okugqibela e-4 adweliswe ahlukile kumaNgqina kaYehova. Ezi mfundiso zine zinokuhlelwa ngokwamaqela amathathu alandelayo:

1. Iiklasi ezimbini zoSindiso

Usindiso olunemigangatho emibini luquka ubizo lwasezulwini lwe144,000 kunye nethemba lasemhlabeni lokuphumla, Olunye udidi lweegusha. Bona ke ngabantwana bakaThixo, abaya kulawula noKristu, bangabikho ekufeni kwesibini. Aba bamva banqwenela ukuba ngabahlobo bakaThixo kwaye baya kuba sisiseko sehlabathi elitsha lomhlaba. Baqhubekeka ngokuxhomekeka kwimeko yokufa kwesibini, kwaye kufuneka balinde de kufike uvavanyo lokugqibela emva kokuba iwaka leminyaka liphelile ukuze basindiswe.

2. Umsebenzi Wokushumayela

Le yeyona nto kujongwa kuyo ngokukodwa iiJW. Oku kuyabonakala xa kusenziwa umsebenzi wokushumayela. Umsebenzi unezinto ezimbini, indlela yokushumayela kwaye umyalezo oshunyayelwayo.

Indlela yokushumayela ngokuyintloko kukushumayela kwindlu ngendlu[viii] Kwaye umyalezo wokuba uBukumkani bukaMesiya bulawula busezulwini ukusukela kwi1914, kwaye iMfazwe yeArmagedon isondele. Bonke abo bakwelinye icala lemfazwe baya kutshatyalaliswa ngonaphakade kwaye kungeniswe ilizwe elitsha.

3. UThixo Wonyula iQumrhu Elilawulayo (Ikhoboka Elithembekileyo Neliyingqondi) ngo-1919.

Imfundiso ithi emva kokuba uKrestu ebekwe e-1914, wahlola amabandla asemhlabeni e1918 wanyula ikhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi kwi1919. Eli khoboka ligunya eliphambili, kwaye amalungu alo azibona 'njengabagcini bemfundiso' kumaNgqina kaYehova.[ix] Eli qela libanga ukuba kumaxesha obuPostile, kukho iqumrhu elilawulayo elalisekwe eYerusalem elathi lazisa iimfundiso nemigaqo yamabandla obuKristu.

Ezi mfundiso zinokujongwa njengezodwa kwiiJW. Zezona zibalulekileyo ngokubhekisele kulawulo nasekuthetheni ngobomi babathembekileyo. Ukuze woyise inkcaso esele ichaziwe ekuqaleni— “Ewe, kodwa sinazo iimfundiso ezisisiseko” —sifanele sikwazi ukuhlolisisa iBhayibhile kunye noncwadi lwe-WTBTS ukubonisa abantu ukuba iimfundiso ziyaxhaswa na yiBhayibhile.

Inyathelo elilandelayo

Oku kuthetha ukuba kufuneka sihlalutye kwaye siphonononge ngokunzulu ezi zihloko zilandelayo ngobunzulu bochungechunge lwamanqaku. Ngaphambili bendijongana nemfundiso ye simi phi “isiXuku esikhulu seZinye iigusha”, ezulwini okanye emhlabeni? I UBukumkani bukaMesiya busekwa kwi1914 kuye kwaqwalaselwa kumanqaku ahlukeneyo kunye neevidiyo. Ke ngoko kuya kubakho uviwo lweendawo ezintathu ezithile:

• Yeyiphi indlela yokushumayela? Ngaba isibhalo esikwiZenzo 20: 20 ngokwenyani sithetha umnyango nomnyango? Singafunda ntoni malunga nomsebenzi wokushumayela kwincwadi yebhayibhile, Izenzo zaBapostile?
• Yintoni umyalezo weVangeli ekufuneka ushunyayelwe? Yintoni esinokuyifunda kuyo Izenzo zaBapostile Neeleta ezikwiTestamente eNtsha?
• Ngaba ubuKristu babunegunya eliphambili okanye ibhunga elilawulayo ngenkulungwane yokuqala? Ifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile? Bubuphi ubungqina bembali obukho kwigunya eliphambili kubuKristu bokuqala? Siza kuvavanya imibhalo yamandulo yaBaseki beCawa yabaPostile, i-The Didache kunye nokuba bathini ababhali-mbali bamaKristu bokuqala ngalo mbandela?

La manqaku aza kubhalwa ngenjongo yokuvuselela iingxoxo okanye ukutshabalalisa ukholo lomntu (2 Timoti 2: 23-26), kodwa ukunika ubungqina besibhalo kubantu abazimisele ukucamngca nokuqiqa. Oku kunika ithuba lokuba babe ngabantwana bakaThixo kwaye bazinze kuKristu ebomini babo.

Elasar

JW ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20. Kutshanje uyekile ukuba ngumdala. Lilizwi likaThixo kuphela eliyinyani kwaye alinakho ukusebenzisa thina sisenyanisweni kwakhona. Eleasar kuthetha ukuba "uThixo uncedile" kwaye ndizele ngumbulelo.
